Recycled Wine Cork Craft Mouse Decoration
We love to recycle and last year I asked my friends to collect wine corks, bottle tops, and other bits and pieces for me. We ended up with a whole heap of useful items to recycle and use in our craft projects and that is always great for the environment and for the budget. Today we have a fun and easy to make Wine Cork Craft Mouse Decoration.
This was created by a guest crafter and we are sharing it here on The Inspiration Edit.

How To Make This Wine Cork Craft
Begin by slicing off two thin circles from one wine cork, these will be the mouse’s ears.
Hot glue the small circle slices to the top of the back of another wine cork, one-off to each side.
Glue two rhinestone eyes onto the front of the wine cork that you just glued the ears to, and another rhinestone for the nose.
Twist a sparkly green pipe cleaner into a spiral shape.
Attach the green spiral pipe cleaner to the back of the wine cork to serve as the tail for your mouse.
Cut a small piece of ribbon and thread it through a small jingle bell.
Tie the ribbon around the cork just under the nose of the mouse.
Glue a small loop of twine to the back of the wine cork in between the ears, this will be the hanger for your mouse ornament.
Now your Mouse is ready to hang. Enjoy.
